The Uncertain Future of Microchips
Microchips have an uncertain future.
Advances in technology over the past century have been staggering. It took just 66 years to progress from launching the first airplane to landing on the moon. Life-changing new smart gadgets, revolutions in communication and miraculous medicines now come so thick and fast that we almost take them for granted.
So what has driven this incredible rate of innovation? It all comes down to a tiny piece of technology: the transistor.
Technological progress has been fuelled by our ability to make these transistors smaller and smaller, enabling us to fit ever-increasing numbers of them onto microchips.
But there is a limit to just how small we can make these transistors, and we may be close to reaching it. At the same time, increased demand and geopolitical factors are leading to a global shortage in semiconductors.
What might this mean for human progress and our daily lives? Find out in this explainer video from iluli by Mike Lamb – explaining the ideas and innovations changing our lives.
